A behemoth on the classical music scene. It was built in 1901 as the showroom for German piano-maker Bechstein, and these days it’s considered one of the world’s greatest recital halls. The Monday lunchtime concerts broadcast live on BBC Radio 3 are a brilliant introduction – and good value too.

Between the burgundy shelves at Traveller's Tales, linger, leaf, and let staff turn pages into plans. It's a tightly curated mix of travel writing, photography monographs, cookery collectables and genuinely rare editions. The team are as fluent in itineraries as they are in titles, able to move you from browsing a novel to sketching out an Arctic expedition or a food-led city break. Book an appointment to peruse more than the impeccable print selection.

The Wallace Collection is London’s version of The Frick in New York. Wander through the halls of this grand house near Baker Street and take in paintings by Titian, Rubens and Van Dyck. The extraordinary collection extends to the suits of armour and ceramics that Sir Richard Wallace and the Marquesses of Hertford amassed in the 19th century. Plus, the glass-roofed atrium café is a lovely spot for a slab of carrot cake, and admission to the museum is free.
